space pirate
Interstellar ship raider
A space pirate is a fictional character who raids spacecraft or space stations, the science fiction equivalent of maritime pirates.
The concept appears across novels, films, and video games, combining swashbuckling adventure with futuristic settings: The space pirates boarded the cargo vessel and seized its fuel cells.
The term occasionally describes real-world concerns about satellite hijacking or orbital debris threats.
